ADLER C. OLAUSEN, OF MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO J.O. SLAFTER, OF SAME PLACE.

WATCH-REGULATOR.

SPEOIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 293,429, dated February12, 1884.

Application filed Xovcniber 13, 1553. (X model.)

To aZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ADLER O. CLAUSEN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Minneapolis, in the county of Hennepin and State ofMinnesota, have invented a new and useful attachment for watches andother mechanism, known more properly as Recording-Regulators, of whichthe following is a specificat-ion.

My invention relates to improvements in recording-regulators forwatches, chronometers, 820.; and it consists in securing to the mainindicating-regulator a small elongated supplemental wire or pin, bywhich means the 1 distance or degrees regulated are recorded,

and thus enabling a fine and precise adjustment of the mechanism to beregulated to be made; and it also consists in the novel arrangement andcombination of parts, as will be hereinafter described, and specificallyset forth in the claim. I obtain these objects by the mechanismillustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a planview of a regulator with my improvement attached. Fig. 2 is a view of myimprovement detached.

Similar letters refer to similar parts througlr out the several views.

To enable others to make and use my inven- 0 tion, I will proceed todescribe the exact manner in which I have carried it out.

ln the drawings, A represents the ordinary supporting-plate of a watch,to which is pivoted the regulator G. consisting of the arm 0 ,5 andconnecting-handl), constructed and shaped in the usual manner; or thehand may be bent to any angle desired when found necessary. To theforward part of the arm D is loosely pivoted a small elongated wire orpin, F, by means of a head or shoulder, E, forming part thereof, andwhich is inserted into a suitable perforation made in the arm D. Theregulator F may be so formed that when pivoted to the arm D it willeither lie above or below the index-gage and in contact with it.

The several parts here enumerated may be made of the material nowordinarily used in watches, but mayl e constructed of any other suitablematerial.

To record the number of degrees to which a watch or similar device isregulated, the re cording spring or hand will be placed under and inexact line with the regulator-hand, when, as said hand is either movedto the right or left, (fast or slow,) the recorder spring or pin, owingto its movable bearing at the head and its friction against the gage atthe point,

remains and will retain it in a semi-stationary position, thus allowingthe number of degrees moved either to the left or right to be recorded,and the comparative effect of such movement upon the mechanism of thewatch or similar device noted, and by the above action will re cordwhere the regulator proper stood before being moved, whether moved rightor left, and the comparative effect such movement.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In a regulator, the spring-arm F, held under the segment friction tight,substantially as herein shown, and for the purpose described.
